And again, thank you so much for 9 00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:35,399 your support. So did you hear about Letitia James? I 10 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,359 was going to mispronounce her name in a comical way, 11 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,119 but I don't want I don't want to run a 12 00:00:43,119 --> 00:00:46,000 foul of any FCC rules, So I'm just gonna call 13 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,479 her Letitia James, new York's attorney general, the woman who 14 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000 ran a campaign on getting Trump, got elected on it 15 00:00:55,039 --> 00:01:01,000 in New York City, and then proceeded to to go 16 00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:03,799 after Trump and get him and get a whole massive 17 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,879 settlement against him or verdict if you will, against him, 18 00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:11,519 like half a billion dollars on his in thirty four 19 00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:15,400 indictments and thirty four convictions. That everybody on the left 20 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:21,000 is always you know, parody, So yeah, she's got a 21 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,079 bit of a problem. Now apparently it has to do 22 00:01:23,239 --> 00:01:28,640 with submitting false paperwork, ironically, the very thing that she 23 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,439 accused Trump of, Like maybe that's how she know like 24 00:01:33,519 --> 00:01:41,040 where to look for the violations of law. So the 25 00:01:41,239 --> 00:01:47,280 fh FA, which is the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Okay, 26 00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:51,560 the FHFA, or as I call it, the FUFFA. The 27 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,760 director of the FUFFA is William Pulti. And if that 28 00:01:54,879 --> 00:01:59,799 name sounds familiar, it's because he built a lot of homes. 29 00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:04,599 Poulti homes. That's this guy. And so he sent a 30 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:10,360 letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi that Letitia James appears 31 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:16,599 to have falsified records to meet certain lending requirements, which 32 00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:22,520 got her favorable loan terms on a house. I think 33 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,080 it's a property in Virginia, which is not contrary to 34 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,919 popular belief, that is not part of New York. Okay, 35 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,039 she has a home in Virginia that apparently she was 36 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:44,479 claiming as her principal residence. But it's a four unit structure, 37 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,240 but that's what she said it was, But it's actually 38 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,360 a five unit structure. So you got five units. She's 39 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,120 claiming there are four, and one of them she resides 40 00:02:56,159 --> 00:03:01,360 in in Virginia as the election did attorney General of 41 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,520 New York, which, funny enough, you're supposed to be a 42 00:03:06,599 --> 00:03:12,159 resident of New York to serve as the Attorney General 43 00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:17,240 of New York. Little known fact, you actually have to 44 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,800 live in the place that you run for the office. 45 00:03:21,719 --> 00:03:24,080 What do you think this is the Senate? The Senate? 46 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,879 I mean, come on, all right, New York Attorney General 47 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,759 Letitia James, who infamously declared that no one is above 48 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,719 the law. Yeah, yeah, they got a lot of mileage 49 00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:37,319 out of that one. They're still using it on the left. 50 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,159 New York Post reports that she was hit with a 51 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:48,120 federal criminal referral for instances of alleged mortgage fraud. The 52 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:53,080 FUFFA director William Pulty, sent the letter to Pambondy and 53 00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:57,879 her deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, alleging that Letitia James 54 00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:02,520 had falsified record to get home loans for a property 55 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:07,639 in Virginia that she claimed was her principal residence in 56 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,680 twenty twenty three. So this isn't This isn't from a long, long, 57 00:04:12,759 --> 00:04:15,520 long long time ago. So who cares, Oh, you youthful 58 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,279 indiscretion or something. No, she's still serving as New York 59 00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:22,600 State Prosecutor when she did this. That occurred in late 60 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,240 August twenty twenty three weeks before she began her civil 61 00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:31,639 fraud trial against the Trump Organization for overinflating the values 62 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,399 of many of its properties, which ended in a four 63 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,120 hundred and fifty four million dollar judgment, despite the fact 64 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,839 that there was no victim, no victim in any of 65 00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:45,319 that right, we went over the details on that case. 66 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,600 This is why, like when people say, oh, eh, good 67 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:53,120 Victor thirty four filares, like, yeah, it was ridiculous. There 68 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,319 was no victim in that case. The appraisals of property 69 00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:02,000 to get loan loans and stuff in the bank, that's 70 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,839 on them to do their due diligence and determine whether 71 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,399 or not the property is correctly valued. They determined it was, 72 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,279 They said it was. They were happy with the terms 73 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,079 of the deal. They wanted more deals with Trump. They 74 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,000 wanted to give him more loans. Miss James was the 75 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,800 sitting Attorney General of New York and is required by 76 00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:27,399 law to have her primary residence in the state of 77 00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:31,759 New York, even though her mortgage applications list her intent 78 00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:38,800 to have the Norfolk, Virginia property as her primary home. Quote, 79 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,600 it appears Miss James's property and mortgage related misrepresentations may 80 00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:48,240 have continued to her recent twenty twenty three Norfolk, Virginia 81 00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:51,759 property purchase in order to secure a lower interest rate 82 00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:00,519 and more favorable loan terms. Now that's from twenty three 83 00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:04,199 way back in February of two thousand and one, so 84 00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:08,560 this is pre nine eleven. In two thousand and one, 85 00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:13,839 she also purchased a five family dwelling in Brooklyn, but 86 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,360 has quote consistently misrepresented the same property as only having 87 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,560 four units in both building permit applications as well as 88 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:29,079 numerous mortgage documents and applications. Okay, so the four or 89 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,160 five units is a different property. She's been doing that 90 00:06:32,199 --> 00:06:37,240 for twenty five years. Apparently it's claiming it's four units 91 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,920 when in fact it's five, which I suspect might have 92 00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:42,240 something to do with a lower tax rate or something. 93 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:47,319 I don't know. Poulty attached several documents also showing Letitia 94 00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:50,839 James purchased another property. So I guess this is a 95 00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:54,839 third property with her father as a co signer. Okay, 96 00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:00,959 so she bought something with her dad, although she listed 97 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,839 him as her husband. 98 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: What is it? 99 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:11,279 Speaker 1: With these Democrat women marrying their relatives. Elan Omar, Mary's 100 00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:17,639 her brother. Now Leticia James married her dad. No, I 101 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,800 don't know if this was just a simple mistake, Like 102 00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:21,959 we have to keep this in mind. It's possible she's 103 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,000 just really bad at figuring out how to fill out 104 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,199 the paperwork, which is why she was uniquely qualified to 105 00:07:28,279 --> 00:07:33,879 lead the prosecution against Donald Trump's paperwork case. Right, but 106 00:07:33,959 --> 00:07:36,879 she falsely listed the pair as husband and wife in 107 00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:40,240 nineteen eighty three and in two thousand, so she's been 108 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,839 doing it for a while. I don't know if her 109 00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:44,399 other is she married now, I don't even know if 110 00:07:44,439 --> 00:07:49,759 she's married. Here's the response from a spokesman for her 111 00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:54,040 Aufice quote, Attorney General James is focused every single day. 112 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,040 You know you're about to hear some crap when they 113 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:03,160 start with that line, right, focused every single day on No, 114 00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:06,040 you're not. The fact that the fact that this has 115 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,560 come out means that you are now having to focus 116 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,519 on this, and you're telling me that you're focusing on 117 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,000 the needs of others and that this somehow gives you 118 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,160 like some moral shield or something against the allegations of wrongdoing. 119 00:08:19,279 --> 00:08:22,560 It's yeah, I don't. Anytime anybody starts off a statement 120 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,879 like that, I know I'm going to get fed some garbage. 121 00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:29,680 So James is focused every single day on protecting New Yorkers, 122 00:08:29,959 --> 00:08:34,000 especially as this administration weaponizes the federal government against the 123 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,879 rule of law in the Constitution. She will not be 124 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:42,039 intimidated by bullies, no matter who they are. Doesn't actually 125 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,919 deny any of the allegations there. Have you noticed that, right? 126 00:08:47,399 --> 00:08:51,200 And it's a little bit rich when the person who 127 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,200 ran for office saying that she was going to target 128 00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:00,120 her political enemy and then wins and then does it. 129 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,440 It is complaining now about the weaponization of government. I 130 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,559 keep saying it. Recognize where we are, you guys on 131 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,360 the left. You have engaged in behaviors that have set 132 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:20,039 different standards by which everybody is now playing. I don't 133 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,480 like it. I urged you against it. You didn't care. 134 00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:28,399 You thought this juice was worth the squeeze. Drink up 135 00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:32,279 because now you're getting it too.

Latisha James. It yeah, really, 158 00:10:48,159 --> 00:10:50,879 it just it couldn't happen to a nicer person. Now. 159 00:10:51,759 --> 00:10:55,519 The letter that was sent by Pulty to Pambondi, Pulty 160 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,639 to Bondy about James, it could amount to criminal charges 161 00:10:59,639 --> 00:11:05,039 including wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, and false statements 162 00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:11,960 to a financial institution. Criminal charges here. So this isn't 163 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,399 like what Trump got in trouble with the civil side 164 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,759 of stuff, right, like that's these are these are criminal charges, 165 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,720 Like she could do time for this if she did it, 166 00:11:23,799 --> 00:11:28,519 if it's only alleged the documents included in the referral. 167 00:11:29,639 --> 00:11:34,159 According to George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, he 168 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,279 called it quite damning. He said, these are misleading statements. 169 00:11:38,279 --> 00:11:41,240 Either it's your principal residence or it's not. Either you're 170 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,799 married to your father or he's your father. Whoa, whoa whoa. 171 00:11:44,919 --> 00:11:48,879 It can be both there, Turley, I mean, not legally. 172 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:55,120 But the criminal referral for James dropped the same day 173 00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:01,720 that her office confirmed it is preliminary scrut preliminary scrutinizing 174 00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:08,159 whether insider trading was in play regarding the ninety day pause. 175 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,720 President Trump put on the reciprocal tariffs last week. Have 176 00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:16,120 you heard this this nuttery? It's not insider trading, lady. 177 00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:20,399 He posted it on Twitter. He said, good, good time 178 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,960 to buy? Right, a great time to buy? He posted 179 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,440 on truth Social Sorry he doesn't post on Twitter anymore. 180 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,320 He's Yeah, it's not a full fledged probe yet, but 181 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:38,080 they're taking a look. It's a preliminary scrutinization, I think 182 00:12:38,159 --> 00:12:40,120 under the law is what it's called. It's not clear 183 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,559 if there are any specific people or companies that are 184 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,320 being reviewed. Trump declared, this is you know what. She 185 00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:53,000 takes every uh, every conspiracy theory that that you know, 186 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,159 bubbles up out of the left wing fever swamps and 187 00:12:57,399 --> 00:13:01,960 turns it into a case. Right. She hears this stuff 188 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,399 from her. This is why I always say, right, unchallenged 189 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,519 ideas are easy to hold. You got to have people 190 00:13:08,519 --> 00:13:10,399 in your life that disagree with you on some stuff. 191 00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:13,879 And if you are completely surrounded by just various degrees 192 00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:17,720 of left wing moon bats, then this is all you're hearing. 193 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,720 And they're like, oh, I'm gonna go look at that. 194 00:13:19,759 --> 00:13:23,559 This is really and maybe it's just a fundraiser play. 195 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,679 You know, maybe it's just I'm going to keep the 196 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,120 base angry and motivated so they keep, you know, sending 197 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,759 money to Act Blue so we can keep that money 198 00:13:31,799 --> 00:13:36,320 laundering operation going. But I don't know, maybe it's that 199 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,559 she really thinks that she can nail Trump because he 200 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,440 posted on truth social that it's a great time to 201 00:13:42,519 --> 00:13:46,559 buy just before the US markets opened on April ninth, 202 00:13:47,759 --> 00:13:51,000 because the indexes were in free fall, right because he 203 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,159 had announced the tariffs. The markets start crashing over the 204 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,960 course of like two days, and then he posts out 205 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,559 great time to buy, and then later that day he 206 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,879 announced says that he is postponing all of the customized 207 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:09,039 tariff rates and doing the ten percent baseline duty, and 208 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:16,240 then the market goes back up. So that's insider trading. 209 00:14:18,279 --> 00:14:22,480 Maybe go take a look, Letitia, go take a look. 210 00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:26,720 No one is above the law, including you. Right now, 211 00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:32,279 there is one element of this story that I think 212 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,919 she's going to I think she's going to rely on. 213 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,480 Letitia James granted power of attorney to a person by 214 00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:51,240 the name of uh shame Ice Chamis Shami Chami J 215 00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:55,480 S H A. M. I. C. E. Sham Ice Is 216 00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:59,879 this person's name again with the dickenzie in names sham ice. 217 00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:06,240 She's telling us right there. Anyway, However, attorney was granted 218 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:13,159 to Chemise Thompson Hairston, okay, relative of hers, and this 219 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:18,679 person signed a document authorizing the purchase of the first property, 220 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:25,200 according to legal filings reported by White Collar Fraud is 221 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,440 the outlet News outlet. So I think she's going to 222 00:15:29,519 --> 00:15:32,879 say that all of this is just a misunderstanding, just 223 00:15:32,919 --> 00:15:38,159 a mistake, and it was this person, Chemise Thompson Hairston, 224 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,240 who just made a mistake on filing some paperwork. I 225 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,559 bet that's where this goes. Somebody's got to go under 226 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,159 that bus. All right.

Hello, Jonathan, welcome to the show. 249 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,159 Speaker 2: Hey, thanks traveling me on, sir. 250 00:17:01,639 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: What's up? 251 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,599 Speaker 2: Hey? I wanted to comment upon the thing you were 252 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,480 saying about how it can't be insider trading. 253 00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: I didn't say it. I didn't say it couldn't be 254 00:17:11,279 --> 00:17:12,920 because I didn't say it couldn't be. 255 00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:18,319 Speaker 2: Oh well, maybe you implied I was saying. 256 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: I say that he posted it on social media. 257 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,559 Speaker 2: Yes, and therefore it How could it be insider trading 258 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,359 because everybody knew about it? 259 00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: That's what he posted out to everybody. That's and then 260 00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:34,200 what did I say after that, Jonathan, or were you 261 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,759 too busy dialing to get on the show after I 262 00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:40,200 said that? Because what I said right after, because what 263 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,319 I said right after that was I don't know. Maybe 264 00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:44,880 there was stuff going on behind the scenes. I don't 265 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:45,160 know that. 266 00:17:45,279 --> 00:17:48,279 Speaker 2: Fine, let's let's move on to my point. Yes, by 267 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,599 point being yeah, my point being that I've seen a 268 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:58,640 chart that shows buying and selling on the stock market 269 00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:02,960 immediately before, immediately after his announcement of the ninth day 270 00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:07,480 moratorium on the tariffs, and you can see right when 271 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,400 he announced it, a whole bunch of purchasing went on, 272 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,000 which is all well and good, But immediately preceding that, 273 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,160 before the announcement, there was a smaller blip that was 274 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,839 anomalist because it wasn't anywhere near the volume just before. 275 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,920 That's that other blip where it shows that somebody for 276 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,079 some reason was all of a sudden buying a bunch 277 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,640 of stocks before the announcement. And that would be inside 278 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,319 if that's what occurred. 279 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,039 Speaker 1: If that's what unless it's unless it was Congress. 280 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:46,519 Speaker 2: Unless it was Congress, Oh well, it could have been anybody. 281 00:18:46,599 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: It could have been members of Congress, because they don't 282 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,559 they're allowed to inside. 283 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:57,319 Speaker 2: Well, obviously, somebody who knew that the tariff moratorium was 284 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,079 coming on took advantage of it. You don't know that 285 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:01,400 that was. 286 00:19:01,519 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: No, you don't know that. You don't know that, though 287 00:19:04,599 --> 00:19:06,000 you're speculating. 288 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 2: About that person who's responsible. 289 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,839 Speaker 1: For Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, you don't know. You don't know 290 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,880 what that blip was. You don't know that that's what occurred. 291 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,279 Speaker 2: Well, we could all be ostriches and put our heads in. 292 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: The same What you're doing, Jonathan, what you're doing is 293 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,839 motivated reasoning. That's what you're engaged in right now. You 294 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,119 have a you have a belief that this thing occurred, 295 00:19:28,319 --> 00:19:30,200 and you may even have also. 296 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,279 Speaker 2: I'm also presenting a scenario that is no farther out 297 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,079 of line from a conspiracy theory that we hear every 298 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,279 day on this radio station. 299 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:45,519 Speaker 1: What conspiracy theory is that? Which conspiracy theories have you 300 00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:46,759 heard me promote? 301 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,039 Speaker 2: Well, you know what I said the radio station. They 302 00:19:50,039 --> 00:19:53,400 didn't say you. Maybe you're a perfectly buying, upstanding host. 303 00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:54,920 But there are others. 304 00:19:55,279 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: So name name a theory that's that's been promulgated on 305 00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:00,119 WBT that you have just. 306 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 2: To all the stuff about masks, all the stuff about. 307 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 1: What about masks? Well, let's start with masks. What about masks? 308 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 2: All the stuff about Trump's what about. 309 00:20:13,039 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: What a wait, what did you just say, not getting 310 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,240 shot or getting shot? 311 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 2: No, I'm getting zer getting shot. I believe it was shot. 312 00:20:21,319 --> 00:20:24,440 But there's lots of conspiracy theories about how he stayed, 313 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:25,920 which I don't believe. 314 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: Nobody has promulgated that on WBT. 315 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 2: No, No, they're not. I'm just talking about in general. 316 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,319 Speaker 1: I'm asking you for. I'm asking you for the conspiracy 317 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,680 theories that have been promoted or promulgated, espoused whatever by 318 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,599 the hosts here at WBT. I'm genuinely curious to know 319 00:20:44,079 --> 00:20:44,759 what those might be. 320 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 2: Well, I would, I would be curious to document it, 321 00:20:48,759 --> 00:20:49,920 but I haven't done so. 322 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: No, just one that you remember. 323 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 2: All I can tell you is that I had listened 324 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,240 to the show fairly frequently, and I've heard stuff that 325 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,519 was truly outrageous. Cannot cite two exact examples because they 326 00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:03,400 didn't write them down. 327 00:21:03,559 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: You don't have to write them down. That's the thing 328 00:21:05,039 --> 00:21:08,160 is something is so outrageous, like you would remember it 329 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,079 because that's what outrageous means. Like you, you would know 330 00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:14,000 it would be very memorable. You said masks, Well, you 331 00:21:14,039 --> 00:21:16,880 said masks, what about them? What was the thing about. 332 00:21:17,279 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 2: We're getting off track. 333 00:21:18,279 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: No, I'm impeaching, No, I'm impeaching your credibility, Jonathan. I'm 334 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:22,519 explaining I was. 335 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,079 Speaker 2: You know, I would do the exact same thing if 336 00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:27,279 I were you, because you don't want anybody to get 337 00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:30,480 on your radio station and god forbid disagree with you 338 00:21:30,519 --> 00:21:31,160 about anything. 339 00:21:31,279 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: You've been on the air for four and a half 340 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,799 minutes doing exactly that. I'm just engaging. And this is 341 00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:39,200 why I say unchallenged ideas are easy to hold. And 342 00:21:39,279 --> 00:21:41,039 I think that's what's going on with you here, is 343 00:21:41,079 --> 00:21:43,559 that you're saying this thing and I'm pushing back and 344 00:21:43,599 --> 00:21:47,279 I'm testing your argument. I'm finding it to be lacking, 345 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,480 and I think you're on the You're a bit defensive 346 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,519 about that. What's that that I have? I've seen the chart. 347 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,519 I don't know and and here's the difference, though, is 348 00:21:57,559 --> 00:22:00,240 that I don't know what occurred. And that's all I 349 00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:03,559 was saying. Well, see, so, Jonathan, why did you get 350 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,359 so Jonathan? Why did you react the way Jonathan. 351 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness, trumpstration is the only people who knew 352 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,160 about the ninety day moratorium, So somehow it leaked out 353 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,279 from the administration. 354 00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: Okay, so that's also not known to you either, because 355 00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:24,599 Donald Trump says stuff all the time, day to day, 356 00:22:24,759 --> 00:22:27,759 hour to hour that his staff and aids and advisors 357 00:22:27,759 --> 00:22:30,119 have no freaking idea what he's about to say. He 358 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:31,759 reverses himself all the time. 359 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:33,319 Speaker 2: Responsibility for him. 360 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: No. Look, all I'm saying, Jonathan, is that you don't know, 361 00:22:36,519 --> 00:22:38,599 and you just admitted that that's true. You don't know, 362 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,119 You're so that's why I said you're engaged, right, And 363 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,599 that's why I said you're engaged in motivated reasoning. You 364 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:49,319 are ascribing the reason for this based on your prior beliefs, 365 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,079 based on your opinions. That's all I was saying. And 366 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,359 you got very upset that I pointed this out. 367 00:22:54,599 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 2: But it's not very upset. I'm just happy that you 368 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,119 found a way to cloud the issue. 369 00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: I'm not clouding the issue, Jonathan. 370 00:23:04,279 --> 00:23:08,079 Speaker 2: Unacceptable for our people to listen to because it's contrary 371 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,680 to what you want the world to believe. 372 00:23:09,799 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: What do I want the world to believe? 373 00:23:12,759 --> 00:23:15,319 Speaker 2: Donald Trump's agenda everything related to it. 374 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: That's me. You totally nailed me. I can tell you 375 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,880 listen to my show all the time because I have been. 376 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,960 I have been banging the drum for Donald Trump since 377 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,440 he came down the Golden escalator. I can't vote for 378 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,319 the guy enough times. Totally nailed me. Thank you for 379 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:34,279 the call, Jonathan. I appreciate that. Spoiler alert. I actually 380 00:23:34,279 --> 00:23:38,119 did not support Donald Trump. Jonathan knows that, I guess 381 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,559 because he listens to the station all the time and so, 382 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,319 but he doesn't document all the most outrageous things or something. 383 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:49,920 So yeah, So look, Letitia James wants to pursue Donald 384 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,920 Trump for insider training, go ahead and do it, just 385 00:23:54,160 --> 00:24:00,519 like Donald Trump's doj is now pursuing her, right, go 386 00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:03,920 ahead and do it.

Mail orders are accepted to 407 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,519 get all the details that create a video dot com. 408 00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:17,519 All right, So, two committees in North Carolina the General 409 00:25:17,519 --> 00:25:26,000 Assembly voted last week to approve legislation that would ban 410 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:36,559 certain foreign entities China from acquiring farmland in the state. Okay, 411 00:25:36,599 --> 00:25:39,359 So there's a House bill, and there's a Senate bill, 412 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,079 House Bill one thirty three, Senate Bill three ninety four 413 00:25:46,839 --> 00:25:50,960 one thirty three, House Bill one thirty three would prohibit 414 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:58,599 quote unquote adversarial foreign governments from purchasing, acquiring, or leasing 415 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,079 agricultural land in North Carolina. According to the bill text, 416 00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:06,359 the restrictions would also apply to land situated within a 417 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,039 seventy five mile radius of a military installation. So that's 418 00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:15,440 basically the whole state, I'm kidding, well, a good part 419 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:21,359 of it, though a number influenced by National defense recommendations. 420 00:26:21,839 --> 00:26:24,079 According to the bill sponsor, that's where they got the 421 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,319 seventy five mile radius. Fort Bragg is near Fayetteville. Complete 422 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,519 list of the applicable installations is outlined in the bill text, 423 00:26:31,519 --> 00:26:37,960 but the bill sponsor, Jennifer Balcom from Henderson County, says, 424 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,119 if it was up to me, I would do the 425 00:26:40,279 --> 00:26:45,200 entire state banded throughout the entire state. But this doesn't 426 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,119 infringe on private property rights. You can sell it to 427 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,920 anybody except a foreign national that's an adversary against the 428 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:59,160 United States, which duh right. We would not allow the 429 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,440 Soviet Union in to be buying up our farm land 430 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,799 and the property all around our military installations. Like if 431 00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:10,640 the wait, is this a conspiracy theory? I'm promulgating here. 432 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,400 I just I want to I gotta be careful, no, 433 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,000 like we need to be looking at China as we 434 00:27:17,079 --> 00:27:21,839 looked at the Soviet Union. And I know boomers remember that, well, 435 00:27:21,839 --> 00:27:23,759 maybe not. It was the sixties. I don't think the 436 00:27:23,759 --> 00:27:26,079 boomers really remember a whole lot from that time period. 437 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,480 But some boomers do, right. They weren't all at Woodstock, 438 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,480 despite what all of them claimed. But Gen X, we 439 00:27:34,559 --> 00:27:38,880 remember this. We're the last generation to remember the Soviet Union. 440 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,519 The kids that were younger than us, they they have 441 00:27:42,599 --> 00:27:44,960 no memory of the Wall coming down, right, They have 442 00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:51,440 no memory of you know, why us beating the USSR 443 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,680 in hockey was such a big deal, Why Rocky Balboa 444 00:27:55,039 --> 00:27:57,599 went to the Soviet Union to whip up on that 445 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:02,680 tall white dude like we were. Though, Gen X remembers 446 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,880 the Soviets were commis, man, and Commis they're bad. That's 447 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,079 really all you should take away from this. That's not 448 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:15,960 a conspiracy theory. That is historical record. Okay. Communism is bad, okay, 449 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:21,799 And the Tricoms are Commis. They lie, They lie about everything. 450 00:28:21,839 --> 00:28:25,759 They're not just buying that farmland because they want some farmland. 451 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,200 They're buying that farmland so they can shut them down 452 00:28:29,319 --> 00:28:31,920 if they need to that's why they want all of 453 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,160 the stuff made in China. Did you hear this? What 454 00:28:34,279 --> 00:28:37,720 was that story about the drones? Hang on a second, here, 455 00:28:37,759 --> 00:28:40,480 I've got it. I've got at someplace in my list. 456 00:28:40,519 --> 00:28:45,519 It's about drone production. Yeah, Pentagon leaders are calling for 457 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:50,079 thousands of drones to face China. This is one of 458 00:28:50,119 --> 00:28:52,839 the things that the war between Russia and Ukraine has 459 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,200 really highlighted, is that you listen to like like the 460 00:28:57,519 --> 00:29:01,559 experts talk about the war fighting operations, like how this 461 00:29:01,559 --> 00:29:05,000 stuff is actually occurring. And what's his name? The guy 462 00:29:06,119 --> 00:29:09,640 prints Blackwater CEO guy, He was on a podcast I 463 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,799 was watching. He talked about this. He's like the stuff 464 00:29:11,839 --> 00:29:13,920 that was working at the beginning, like Trump always talks 465 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,279 about I sent them javelins, Obama sent them you know, 466 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,839 bed linens, whatever. But the Russians have now adapted. They've 467 00:29:20,839 --> 00:29:24,759 both adapted. So now like there this is a different 468 00:29:24,839 --> 00:29:28,960 kind of warfare that they're engaging in. It's drones. They're 469 00:29:29,039 --> 00:29:33,599 using drones for all sorts of stuff. And so the 470 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,039 Pentagon is like, hey, we need a ton of drones. 471 00:29:37,079 --> 00:29:41,279 We need thousands and thousands of drones, and so hey, 472 00:29:41,799 --> 00:29:44,599 let's put in some orders for all of the drones. 473 00:29:45,519 --> 00:29:51,160 Slight problem. You can't make all the drones for the 474 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:56,920 American military, buy these American manufacturers because all the components 475 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:04,079 are in China. Slight problem. Yeah, it does raise the 476 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,279 question of, you know, why do we even have a 477 00:30:06,279 --> 00:30:09,440 military industrial complex if we have to rely on our 478 00:30:09,519 --> 00:30:14,519 enemy to give us the critical components of these war systems. 479 00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:17,480 So that's a problem. But that's the same reason why 480 00:30:17,559 --> 00:30:19,839 China wants all of the manufacturing. Why they want all 481 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:27,400 the military you know, production ingredients. They want the land, 482 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,519 and they want it around the military installations. Not for 483 00:30:30,599 --> 00:30:32,880 good purposes, not for us. They're not doing it to 484 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:39,440 help us. So that's the house built. There's a sorry. Also, 485 00:30:39,519 --> 00:30:43,200 the bill does not list specific countries. It refers to 486 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:49,119 governments subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. That's 487 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,519 the Senate bill, or sorry, the House bill. Now, the 488 00:30:51,559 --> 00:30:58,839 Senate bill explicitly refers to China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia. 489 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,599 Personally would like to see Canada thrown in there, just 490 00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:05,880 you know, for just for measure, good measure. I can't 491 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,839 be too careful. The legislation is described as a state 492 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,720 effort to protect national security because food security is National 493 00:31:14,759 --> 00:31:18,319 Security Center. Bill three ninety four is more restrictive than 494 00:31:18,319 --> 00:31:22,119 its House counterpart. The proposal bars the prohibited foreign parties 495 00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:25,680 from making claims to land situated within a twenty five 496 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,960 mile radius of a military installation, so that's smaller. It's 497 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,200 closer to the military bases or if they are underneath 498 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:39,920 special use air space as designated by the FAA. Of course, 499 00:31:40,039 --> 00:31:43,759 Lisa Grafstein, Democrat from Wait County, pointed out there's a 500 00:31:43,799 --> 00:31:47,440 growing population of Chinese immigrants and Chinese Americans in the state, 501 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,799 and you know, I'm just worried this bill would ban 502 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,240 some of them from purchasing land if they are a 503 00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:55,160 legal resident. Like Well, the answer is, if they're a 504 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,000 resident alien, they have the same right to acquire a 505 00:31:58,039 --> 00:31:59,680 hold land as a citizen as long as they're a 506 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,400 resident in the state. But if you work for the 507 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,960 tri comms, then no, it seems pretty clear. All right. 508 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,319 That'll do it for this episode.
